Baden-Wurttemberg program participation
In fall 2018, Joanna McCord, assistant registrar at UMD, participated in the 2018 Baden-Wurttemberg program, hosted by the University of Konstanz in Germany. This program helps to build international understanding between educational systems to support international education, study abroad exchange programs, and transfer of academic credit between institutions in Germany, the United States, and Canada. The team gathered first-hand knowledge about the academic programs and connected with professionals at the University of Konstanz and Thurgau University of Teacher Education (PHTG) in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, including their collaborative Studying Without Borders program. The program included opportunities to get to know a variety of institutions, including research universities, a university of applied sciences, two universities of education, a university that focused on cooperative education, a Gymnasium (academically-focused high school), and a Chamber of Handicrafts (vocational training center). The team also had the opportunity to participate in a program with the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research, and the Arts.
